President Obama recently signed the Thrift Savings Plan Enhancement Act of 2009 into law, which eliminates the waiting period of appropriated fund civilian employees covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System to receive Agency Automatic 1 percent and Agency Matching Contributions to their TSP accounts. Air Force-serviced civilians can enroll or submit TSP contribution elections by using the Benefits and Entitlements Service Team's (BEST) phone system by dialing 800-525-0102. When the phone system answers, press "2" for civilian employees, then "2" again for BEST benefits and entitlements, and follow the prompts.
